Chapter 6

“Bang, bang, bang…”

The next morning, the door of the Jiang family’s house was suddenly knocked on loudly, followed by a series of chaotic footsteps outside.

“It’s here!”

“Their living conditions are a bit too good…”

“What good does it do? We’ll smash everything up later, no matter what.”

Someone outside also shouted in panic, “They’re here, they’re here!”

Seeing that the door wasn’t locked, a large group of people barged in, their faces full of schadenfreude as they looked at the Jiang family couple, shouting loudly, “Everyone, don’t move!”

“Dare to resist, and I’ll beat you to death!”

The leading middle-aged man, with a three-seven part hairstyle and a face full of arrogance and disdain, walked up, “Are you Jiang Xiang Sheng and Lin Ting who live here?”

Jiang Xiang Sheng’s heart skipped a beat, he put down the enamel mug in his hand, stood up, “Yes.”

Liang Pei hated intellectuals like this, they were always pretending and putting on airs. He looked Jiang Xiang Sheng up and down, snorted coldly,

“I’m Liang Pei, the person in charge. We received a report from the masses this morning that your family is hiding capitalist items, so we have to conduct a thorough search of your house.”

The man behind him swung the wooden stick in his hand, chiming in, “I advise you to be sensible. Of course, if you don’t cooperate, we have plenty of ways to make you cooperate.”

Without waiting for Jiang Xiang Sheng’s response, Liang Pei gestured to the people behind him, “Search!”

A glint of greed flashed in their eyes, they unceremoniously rummaged through everything. When they couldn’t find anything, they angrily picked up their wooden sticks and smashed everything around.

“Bang, bang, bang…”

“Crash, crash…”

Lin Ting, Jiang’s mother, was startled and instinctively took a step back.

Jiang Xiang Sheng’s face darkened, he stood in front of his wife and daughter, protecting them from being bumped by these people.

At the same time, he said in a strong voice, “I can’t believe you broke into my house without permission and threatened our lives. I will report this matter.

My family and I love our country, we are dedicated to it. We have been working hard in our respective fields, and we have never done anything wrong against the country. Heaven is our witness!”

Jiang Xiang Sheng stood firmly at the front, his face full of righteousness, his tone very serious as he spoke these words.

No matter what, he had to stand tall.

He couldn’t let these people insult him, he couldn’t let these scum trample on his scientific research and his wife’s medical work, and he couldn’t let them trample on their spirit of dedication to the country.

Liang Pei had been doing this kind of thing for a long time, he was already used to it and wasn’t intimidated by Jiang Xiang Sheng at all.

In his eyes, the Jiang family was already a rotten ship with several holes in it. Even if it didn’t sink now, it would eventually die on the road.

Liang Pei spat, his words laced with contempt, “Who didn’t say they were innocent before a search?

Who didn’t stand there obediently and watch us conduct a routine search?

How can we tell if there are things hidden inside if we don’t smash them, if we don’t break them open?

Don’t you understand? Times have changed, don’t think you’re still a vegetable.

Professor Jiang Xiang Sheng, Comrade Lin Ting, I’ll warn you one last time. If you dare to obstruct us today, you’ll have consequences tomorrow. Do you really think you can escape after causing such trouble?”

“Clang, clang…”

“Move aside, move aside… things in the way.”

Before they could react, just as the wooden stick was about to hit Lin Ting, Jiang Zhizhi rushed forward, grabbed her mother’s hand, pulled her back, protected her parents behind her, and whispered to them,

“Don’t be afraid, I’m here.”

Everyone stopped, their eyes all focused on Jiang Zhizhi. This girl was so beautiful, it was as if she had the word “disaster“ written on her forehead.

Liang Pei had come to the Jiang family specifically, his intentions were not pure. He wanted to bully the little girl, to pick on a soft persimmon!

Now that he had seen Jiang Zhizhi’s appearance with his own eyes, he had to admire Jiang Xiang Sheng and Lin Ting for being able to give birth to such a daughter.

No wonder Liang Meixin and her nephew were so insistent on getting her into their family.

“Is this your daughter? It’s a pity that she was born into such a family, her life is ruined!”

Liang Pei had a wicked idea, “Oh dear! I say, little girl, your parents are so unfair. They’ve gotten into such a big mess and they want to make you suffer with them, they’re so inflexible.”

Jiang Zhizhi didn’t like his nephew, so it was better if she was with him instead.

Anyway, he had connections with many influential and wealthy people. They, ah, loved beautiful women like this.

It was really bad luck, Jiang Xiang Sheng must have damaged his brain while doing research, right?

Why did he ask his daughter to go on a blind date? What could he possibly find?

It would be better to use her beauty to its fullest advantage, to please those people, to gain some wealth and status.

His disgusting gaze lingered on her, and a fierce look flashed in Jiang Zhizhi’s eyes.

As the saying goes, in this kind of environment, beauty is also a danger.

In fact, her fists were itching.

Either she wouldn’t make a move, or she would give the enemy a fatal blow.

As long as Liang Pei dared to make a move, she wouldn’t hesitate.

Liang Pei strode towards Jiang Zhizhi, reaching out to grab her. His face was ugly and full of evil, making people feel incredibly disgusted and sick.

Jiang Zhizhi quickly raised her foot and kicked forward forcefully. All they saw was a “whoosh” as Liang Pei’s body flew out.

“Oh my god!!!”

Everyone’s faces changed, they couldn’t help but exclaim.

“Ah, ah, ah…”

Another scream, everyone saw Liang Pei falling hard onto the broken rosewood table, the thick table leg accurately piercing his waist.

So scary!

Hiss, hiss, it hurt just looking at it.

Liang Pei gasped in pain, his face flushed with anger, he roared, “Don’t you guys help me up? Damn it! This girl’s kick is really vicious, damn it!”

“I’m not done with you!”

The group of people finally reacted, they all rushed over to help Liang Pei up.

Some of them couldn’t help but secretly look back at the thick table leg, their hearts skipped a beat.

Damn, can’t afford to mess with her! Can’t afford to mess with her!

Liang Pei was furious and roared loudly, “Jiang Zhizhi, how dare you? How dare you hit someone?”

Jiang Zhizhi immediately put on a pitiful expression, her voice trembling, “It’s so scary, it’s really so scary. It’s so unsafe here, there are actually hooligans breaking in in broad daylight. I’m so scared, I just defended myself!”

“Don’t you know that hooliganism is punishable by confinement?”

Jiang Zhizhi didn’t miss the lewdness in Liang Pei’s eyes. It seemed that the tragic ending of Jiang Xiang Sheng and Lin Ting in the original book might have started to be influenced from here.

Humph! Didn’t the Cai family ask Liang Pei for help? Did they want to use the search to defeat and attack Jiang Xiang Sheng and Lin Ting?

In the end, it was uncertain who would be attacking who!

Hearing the word “hooliganism,” Liang Pei’s face changed drastically.

On one hand, there was his life safety, on the other hand, there was fame and fortune. But thinking about all the benefits of getting Jiang Zhizhi, Liang Pei simply went for it. If he didn’t teach Jiang Zhizhi a lesson today, he wouldn’t be named Liang!

Just as he raised his hand to slap her, a deep voice suddenly sounded from the doorway.

“Stop!”

Everyone turned their heads to look at the doorway, the first thing they saw were Hu Hua and Chen Jianye’s worried faces.

“Jiang Wang’s sister, are you okay?”

They were worried sick. They had received news early this morning that someone was coming to the Jiang family to cause trouble with weapons.

The three words “danger, danger, danger” flashed frantically in their minds.

Since the three of them had sat under the tree together and melonsed that day, they had built a pure friendship of melons!

After they went home, for some reason, they would occasionally worry about Jiang Zhizhi’s situation.

What a good girl, how could she be bullied?

Chen Jianye and Hu Hua anxiously pulled their grandfathers over. Although they couldn’t help much, at least they could hold the scene, right?

As for the two old men who were pulled over, they were in a daze.

Chen’s grandfather muttered in his heart, No… no, I’m just an old man who has nothing to do with this, why did my grandson pull me over without saying a word?

If word gets out, will I still have face to see people?

Hu’s grandfather: “…”

What’s the meaning of this? It’s not a good thing to come here.
